Can sum1 plz help me fix this without loosing my root or the 2.2 update????
[G1 General] maxomus:
Can you boot into recovery? If so, do a complete wipe -cache,dalvik,reset,etc... Then flash the rom again. Did you or install anything before it went screwy on you?

Sent from my phone.
[G1 General] maxomus:
Well you won't lose root nor your rom, but ext & swap is highly advisable on the G1.

Sent from my phone.
[G1 General] bigk24:
What do you mean by ext swap, lol I'm a newbie so can you break it down step by step. I wanna switch my sd card because I only have 348 mb of total space when I'm suppossed 2 have 968.
[G1 General] bigk24:
Thanks but I just re did all of the steps and everything is working fine. But before it messed up I was downloading an app and then all of a sudden everything started force closing and my apps were opening by themselves and force closing and it would say sumthing in parenthesees like gapps has closed unexpectedly. ( a few days before all of this happened I deleted everything I used to update, was this the cause of the malfunction ?
[G1 General] maxomus:
As you know the G1 suffers from sub par specs, so an ext 3/4 for apps2sd is recommended to keep some internal memory free & a swap, which all depends on the roms, i guess you never messed with linux aye, but think of it as extending your memory, or like virtual memory, albeit it coming off a slow sd, but usually better then nothing, basically the g1 can use all the help it can get, not everyone cares for swap, but I do, not like it hurts...

So I take it you have a 1gb sd?

Keep your eye out for a good class 6 (fastest) there fairly cheap nowadays.

You can partition your sd from recovery, which is the easiest for most or use gparted or something similar on a desktop.

96 swap

256/512 ext 3

Remainder fat 32

I have always kept atleast a 512 ext, but im a app hog, 512 is more then enough, so you may want to try 256 if your worried about space on your sd.

Hi,

I am stuck at the first step which is to downgrade to RC29. But each time I tried it, I am getting:

"00028002 Not Allow" message is shown when I try to start the

bootloader. Then it goes to the multicoloured screen with Serial0 and stays there, nothing happens. Any idea how to resolve it?

Am I following the correct steps? Or is there any other methods?

Below are the specs of my HTC Dream phone:

Firmware Version:1.6

Kernel Version:2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37

android-build@apa26#19

Build Number:DRD20

Android / rooting noob here. I got this all working, the guide was great. My only question is now I am on radio 2.22.19.26I. I think the latest radio is 2.22.23.02, right? From the above, is that saying I can install ADB and flash the new radio without having to do anything else? What is ADB by the way ....
[G1 General] maxomus:
Yeah adb or you can put the radio zip on the root of your sd and flash it like you flash a rom, but don't wipe, just flash.

Sent from my phone.
[G1 General] BigFellor:
Thanks. So if I want to go to a different ROM, can I do that the same way? Put the zip on my SD, boot into recovery, then load the new ROM, or do I have to wipe first?

Edit: Ok, new issue. I've installed the Gapps.zip file from recovery and still I have no icon for the Market. The Home button does not work. I also can not make or receive calls with this. Any ideas?
[G1 General] maxomus:
We

Yes, same deal to flash a new/different rom, always wipe when flashing to a different rom, full wipe, go through all the opinions cache, dalvik cache,etc...

Sounds like a bad flash...

Worst case wipe and reflash cm, you should try the fix permissions command from prompt, been awhile since I used anything w/ gapps, so you may want to check the cm thread on that one, unless someone can chime in real quick...

Sent from my phone.
[G1 General] BigFellor:
Uhhh ... what?
[G1 General] maxomus:
Try booting into recovery, do a complete wipe, every option there, then reflash cm6 & gapps...

You used to have to run a fix permissions command from prompt after flashing gapps, but that may not apply nowadays, so you may be better of searching around and asking in the cm6 thread...

Ok guys stuck here, i am having problem, when i boot phone with camera and end key i get rainbow screen, it then goes to the update screen, which displays the words "not allow" then back to rainbow screen.

phone is T-Mobile G1 and in the UK

build number DRC92

Any help here guys.

Thanks
[G1 General] danez123:
Ok guys i see why you dident answer my post, lol, you wanted me to try to help mysef first, i have now got to the end, but the phone gets to the google sign in page, but before i can put in my details the phone keeps rebooting itself.

Reason why updating dident work before was the fact i was trying to use RC29 kept getting "not allow" and back to rainbow screen.

I then used which i think was correct file, DREAMIMG-RC7, as i am in UK.

The thing works:p But as i say it keeps rebooting, so can someboody help me out please.

Thanks

Hi,

I read your beginner's guide, and I'm definitely a beginner who could use help. I bought a rooted G1 online with version 1.6, and I'd like to upgrade it to 2.2, but I don't know where to start. Could you help me or tell me where I should look for advice? I've posted on here asking for help but got no response.

Here is what I posted (includes info about the phone):

Hi,

I recently purchased a G1 online that has been rooted,unlocked and I am wondering if anyone can help me upgrade it. I am very new to this, but after reading some in these forums, it seems like if I could be getting a lot more out of my device if I had a clue how to do it. Most of what I read though, I don't really understand, so I'm looking for some very step-by-step instructions, if anyone is willing.

One of the main things I'm looking to get out of this, if it is possible, is to be able to store apps on my sd card and free up the phone's internal memory.

Here is some information about the current state of my phone:

Firmware version: 1.6

Baseband version: 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.9.26I

Kernel version: 2.6.29.6-cm42

Mod version: CyanogenMod-4.2.9.1

Build number: DRC83

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.
[G1 General] danez123:
ok still no reply, anyway i now have it sorted, i followed the instructions but as you know my phone got in a never ending loop, even when i removed battery, as soon as i replaced it the thing would fire up.

I managed to get back to firmware version 1.0, go knows how, more luck than judgement, then 1.5 lol, then eventually back to 1.6 and started over.

This time for some reason i desided not to partition the SDcard, anyway it worked and i love the 2.2, seems like a new phone.

Thanks guys
[G1 General] blazinfiresz:
Works great !

Thanks, it worked perfectly. I had firmware 1.6, build DMD64 and it worked without any problems. I was scared that i would brick my phone cause i read about people with the DMD64 build had to use a gold card or something like that, but no worry's it works perfect !

Hey guys I wanted to re-root my G1, i have it currently rooted, but i want to give the phone to my brother and just want to re-root it from the beginning, but i am having trouble downloading the required files, it keeps saying that "the files are currently unavailable"

Thanks a lot!
[G1 General] maxomus:
That makes know sense...not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but why don't you just completely wipe the phone and flash a new rom/same rom, then when you give it to your brother he will have a freshly installed & clean phone to start of with...

G1 Turns off

Okay guys so i did this whole rooting process, but instead of CM 6 i went to a bit older stable version of 5.0.7, and i am having only one problem with the phone now, when i turn on "youtube" it doesnt even last a minute and the phone the turns off! and then it doesnt reboot either?

i was thinking that its a battery problem, but im not sure, does anyone else have this problem,

any help is appreciated thanks a lot!
[G1 General] PROTO407:
I think i might have possibly bricked my phone doing this. I was doing everything according to the guide, when i rebooted after I flashed the hard spl i got stuck at the G1 screen. Pulled battery tried to go into recovery but once again got stuck at the G1. Pulled and tried fast boot and normal start up and still no go...please tell me there is something i can do to fix this

[G1 General] jetcitydevices:
That was an awesome tutorial! Thank you so much.

One quick thing to note: I had a problem getting the GAPPS download because the link you provided was dead. I grabbed the latest version from here:

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps

Get the "Google Apps for CyanogenMod 6" and make sure it's the one for MDPI. I picked this one and it worked great: Google Apps (20100917).
[G1 General] RKramkowski:
Successful upgrade but phone keeps rebooting about every minute or so.

OK, I'm reposting since yesterday's post got eaten by the database monster...

I successfully upgraded following the details in this thread. Everything appeared successful until the last reboot. After I rebooted, it appeared to start but I got the message "Sorry: Process System Is Not Responding" with the choices of "Force Close" or "Wait". I understand that's normal(?) but regardless of what I select, or selecting nothing, the system reboots after anywhere between 20 seconds and 90 seconds. I also notice that I get no bars in my signal meter. Just the "X". If I try to go and select the carrier, it gets stuck at "Searching..." and then reboots before it finds any carrier.

Should I restart the process all over again? Just flash the radio?

Are the files that are listed in this thread the most recent ones? I did see one post about there being a newer radio file somewhere.

Thanks,

Bob
[G1 General] naripsta:
I got successful until the last boot lol. Left it for like 20 minutes, nothing. Just stays frozen. I'm guessing I need to try it with a new SD card.
[G1 General] MobLAug:
I'm with same problem. I do the all steps, the Froyo works very well. I was re-istalling the apps and move to SD, when the phone freezes.

I remove the battery, but the phone don't boot, only freeze in "T-Mobile G1" black/white screen.

The boot in recovery mode is ok. When I enable USB-MS the acess to SD is ok.
[G1 General] MobLAug:
BINGO!

naripsta, my problem is end.

Try it: remove de battery to turn off. Boot teh phone in recovery mode (home + power).

In recovery mode, go to wipe and select to clear the cache. When its finished, select to reboot the device. I did it, the phone start a normal boot, but turned to endless boot and reboot. Quikly, in home screen, didi I selected to turno off.

When I turn on in noral boot everything did ok. Great!
[G1 General] naripsta:
Ah, I'll try out your solution. Thanks for sharing.
[G1 General] naripsta:
Quick update, I just ended up flashing in another ROM. I think it's SuperMagic or something like that lol. But I'm now rooted and it feels good. Thank you for the help for giving me an idea of how it works.

[G1 General] Drew489:
It worked! Thanks!!!

2 major things you might want to add in there that could save people a lot of time.

1. Format the SD card from the phone...not the PC. I got hung up on step 8 because I formated from my PC. It would just stay on the screen with the colored bars. Once I formated the SD card from the phone itself...it worked perfectly.

2. After step 14...I couldn't register my phone because I'm running a G1 on AT&T and the APN settings were gone. I couldn't connect to wifi because that screen is not available. I had to add the AT&T APN settings in before it would let me register my Google account. There is no way around the initial Google registration so you need some kind of data connection. Just click the menu button and add the AT&T APN settings...they're all over the web.

Thanks again!

Hi. So I'm working through this. The guide has worked flawlessly so far, but now I'm stuck on this step:

I select the file and hit HOME to confirm and then it stays on the part that says:

How long is that supposed to stay there? I'm wondering if the Radio .zip file got corrupted when downloading it. What should I do?

Edit: I forgot to mention that my phone is a DREA100 from T-mobile.
[G1 General] pavloook:
Ok. I pulled out the battery and then went into fastboot mode and found out that my radio is already the same number I was trying to flash. That's why it was getting stuck. I went and continued with the next step and everything worked flawlessly. Now I'm on CM6 and loving it! Thank you!

Hi, it worked like a charm I followed all steps, great guide!

But it´s been almost 4 months since the release of this wonderfull tutorial, any sugestions on updates on radio, spl, rom, recovery image, etc.

Maybe someone will guide us with the correct steps and links to upgrade coming from this Pastro100 guide

I'm having the same problem. After typing sdcard....the grey button doesn't do anything. The linda file manager doesn't work on the phone because it's not reading the downloaded files. when I try other file managers, they work with the exception of the recovery flash. turned off phone & turned back on using home & power & it brings me to the wrong screen (triangle with exclamation point). I alt L & rebooted. i tried different file managers & still have the problem. tried linda about a thousand times & it doesn't work....help!
[G1 General] :
I no longer need the help! The reason the flash recovery button never turned grey was because what I was typing in didn't match the recoveries name. It took me hours to find the answer, which wasn't really an answer, just something I realized as I looked at a billion youtube videos & tutorials. Either way, phone rooted, flashed, & now running cyanogenmod 6.0
[G1 General] newbieforever:
first off, excellent tutorial! very easy to follow. unfortunately, i am completely stumped!!

everything was going well until i had to flash CM6. on my first try, the file seemed to be corrupted (installation aborted). so i decided to try to flash latest stable CM5 instead. installation went smoothly (got the "Install from SD Card complete" message), or so i thought. when i rebooted, i was stuck in the G1 screen for a good 30mins before i decided to pull the batt. tried other CMods from the site but to no avail. didn't even flash GApps yet. now i am stuck with the generic rom which came with this tutorial. where did i go wrong?

newbie here btw. plain english please! :)

--- update ---

after some more reading, it seems the problem might lie either in the radio and/or SPL department (again, am a noob so consider this a "calculated guess"). here's my plan (please let me know if i am on the right track):

1. boot into recovery (using clockwork mod) - should i revert back to amon ra? how do i do that?

2. wipe data/factory reset

3. flash new radio - which file should i use? i am residing out of the U.S. it seems i am currently on1.22.12.29

4. flash SPL - should i get DangerSPL or can i still use the SPL file in this tutorial?

5. flash CM6

6. reboot

what do you guys think? thanks in advance!

Wish I would've found this guide when I rooted and ROM'd my phone awhile back. I had the same issue of having to grab bits and pieces of information from a couple of different spots to get through mine. It didn't help that my G1 was 1.6 DMD64 either..
